ton had not divided the patronage sufficiently
among them. / suppose twenty thousand, at
least, refralned from voting on that account
alone. do not mean to say by this that Presl
dent Cleveland has not made good appointments
in my State, for he has, but in the congressional
districts there were great many aspirants who
failed to get Office These same men, too, will
turn out in 1888 and vote for Mr. Cleveland. If
he is nominated, because they know he is prefer
able to Republican President President
Cleveland has ample time to strengthen himself
wonderfully before his term expires He came
into Office not knowing public men, and has de
voted his time mainly, almost exclusively. to
routine work. fie has made fine administers a.
ton and an excellent chief executive there is no
doubt about that, and has shown that he has
backbone and stamina But II he would take
some line of policy and shape it, policy that
would rebound to his credit and to the credit of
the Democratic party. he would sweep this
country with irresistible impetus in 1888
1t would add to his popularity, to mis- strength.

President Cleveland is a conservative man, a
safe man chief executive. If Mr.. Blaine is
pitted against Cleveland in 1883 think it proba
BILE that Mr.. Cleveland may carry New York,
though it will be a close race. Indiana will go
for Mr. Cleveland, although it gave a majority
for the Republicans at the last State
election. Do l think Mr.. Cleveland
will be renominateda Yes, if he wants
to be. But now l can't tell you whether he
wants to again. II he does and is elected,
/ think his experience will be such that he will
not attend so exclusively to his mere duties as
President, but turn his attention to policy for
his party. Many in his party think that he
should turn the r biicans out and put in
Democrats. I do, too believe that civil-serv-
ice reform Is sham. That law is not good for
a republican form of government which makes a
civil list and requires tenure of Office. 1t may
do well for England, but do not desire any,
thing of the kind in the United States. Why
if the Republicans should go in tomorrow and
take control of this government they would turn
out Immediately every Democrat in Office.
There would be no daying or weighing in nice
scales the delicacy of such action, but with stall
wart promptness out would go every Democrat,

A Boom That Causes Serious Distress.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. March A singular
difficulty has arisen here the result of the real
estate boom which has prevailed here for three
months. Some time since syndicate of capital
lists purchased large tract Of land almost in the
center of the city. called Stone Fort, which, on
account of its rocky and uneven condition, has
been allowed to become occupied by negro ten
ants AT least two hundred small houses have
been put up for their occupancy. The two hun
dred families, since the new purchase, have been
notified to vacate this property at once. and they
will have to leave. There is not vacant house
in the city that they get, and Chattanooga
is now confronted with the problem of what to
do with two hundred families who are turaed
out of house and home. The purchasers pro-
pose to improve the property, level it off and
make it available for business houses and resi-
dences. The poor people will have to get off
during the coming week. and what to do with
them nobody knows. In several other portions
of the city where property has heretofore been
occupied by poorer classes. and which property
has passed into new hands, the tenants have also
been ordered off to make room for improve
ments 1t is safe to say that during the coming
week, if these notices insisted upon. there
will be hundreds of homeless families in Chatta-
nooga, with no homes that they can rent

The Successful Remedy for
Nasal Catarrh

Must be non-irritating, easy Of application,
and one that will, by its own action, reach all
the remote sores and liberated surfaces. The
history of the efforts to treat catarrh during
the past few years demonstrates that only one
remedy has met these conditions, and that is
Elys Cream Balm. This safe and pleasant
remedy has mastered catarrh as nothing else
has ever done, and both physicians and pa
tents freely concede this fact. The more
distressing symptoms quickly yield to it, and
multitude of persons who have for years
borne all the worry and pain that catarrh can
infiet, testify to radical and permanent cures
wrought by it. Ely's Cream Balm is perfectly
soothing, excites no dread, dissolves the hard
ened Accommodations lessons the extreme sensi-
bility of the nerve centers to cold and all ex-
ternal irritants, and is followed by no re-
action whatever.

Civil-Service Reform
Washington Special
Postmaster general Villas is q thorn in the

of the Democratic officials, although they don't

Mr. Villas says he hasn't got time to bother with
the blamed thing. The Democrats want Demo
cratic postmasters. and they are bound to have
them. When the Democrats came into power
two years ago, there were a little over 45, 900
fourth-class postoffices in the country. Since
then they have been increased to 81 OO0-a fact
by the way, which marks the development of
the country in the most striking and impressive
manner. WE'LL of these $4,000 fourth-class
cross roads postoffices, 10000 now held by
